  1. Ludwig Eduard Boltzmann (February 20, 1844 – September 5, 1906) was an Austrian physicist famous for his application of probability theory to the study of molecules in a gas. He used the results of his theoretical investigations to explain the thermodynamic properties of materials.

  2. Ludwig Boltzmann was an Austrian physicist whose efforts radically changed several branches of physics. He is mostly noted for his role in the development of statistical mechanics and the statistical explanation of the second law of thermodynamics.

  6. Ludwig Boltzmann was an Austrian theoretical physicists of 19th century who made remarkable contributions in the fields of kinetic theory, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. He was one of the great pioneers who helped us understand what heat really was.

  7. Oct 7, 1997 · In two respects Ludwig Boltzmann was a pioneer of quantum mechanics. First because in his statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics he introduced the theory of probability into a fundamental law of physics and thus broke with the classical prejudice, that fundamental laws have to be strictly deterministic.
